Canon IXUS 500 HS

OK – I really like my camera and generally takes good shots. I bought it to take photos of new baby daughter and am finding get lots of blurred shots because she doesn't stay still but I think that could be my fault not using correct settings and must read and experiment more. Small and compact. Easy to follow instructions for basic point and shoot. Gets a better harder to work in manual mode.

Good – Excellent camera to use, extremly light weight and battery charging time is quick.Silverish in color and taking photos is a breeze. Even the kids can take pictures its that simple. Allows you take pictures and if any arent what you expect you can delete right there and then.Especially when you chop off the mother in laws head off- HA! HA! Nothing bad to report

Good – A great camera - the only real contendor i think is the sony dcp-10 which is a little cheaper (not as intuitive to use) but has more features. Overally happy with the product This camera has excellent picture quality and really is easy to use... does produce really great pics. The camera has a great feel and is sturdy, and also a great shape to put in your pocket Well, the movie mode is limited to 30s at the 640x480 (tv quality) which is REALLY frustrating.

Also, there is no 'battery life' indicator which would be handy.

Also annoying that you have to remove the battery to charge it (no usb charging)

Good – Great camera, I would definately buy again Good picture quality Easy to use Fits in the pocket, great and handy size
